Private car ownership has grown dramatically in recent years. This has led to a rise in traffic congestion. What could governments and individuals do to reduce congestion?

Nowadays, since technology is developing rapidly, more and more

people

want to get their own cars. The concern about reducing congestion lays in the responsibility of both individuals and governments.

Therefore

, measures that must be taken to avoid

traffic

jam these days will be discussed in the essay.

To begin

with, the main reason for increasing car consumption leading to

traffic

congestion and other problems is

people

's ignorance and unawareness. It should be noted that governments should insist on putting the limit on the number of vehicles in a day and inform individuals about a given issue.

For instance

, the Japanese government has declared the law where automobiles with even number cannot go out in one day and

consequently

on another day with odd. If other countries give their main priority to

this

law, it will contribute to the problem being solved faster.

In addition

, it is clear that individuals should take a part in decreasing

traffic

congestion too. By encouraging environmentally-friendly forms of transport not only the number of cars will be shortened but

also

people

will help to avoid different ecological problems

such

as air pollution. Only when they learn more about an alike problem and act respectively to figure out do they realize the importance and consequences of that phenomenon. In conclusion, even if

people

afford themselves to become a vehicle owner, it can lead to

traffic

jam and thereby turning into a huge problem for the entire world.

Thus

, all measures should be taken until we face it.
